Awesome find

Liked watching them gaff tape the divers weights to the boards, had read an article years ago on the early tow ins where they used to have lead filled pvc pipes built into the boards to raise it's inertia and maintain momentum.

Huge closeout which drilled him

Loved the clasic comment at the end.

Was one of the better 60 minutes. Huge jatz crackers on the the pair of them.
And agree with Elmo, great close out comment

This is a quote from a forum on www.coastview.com.au, and highlights another perspective. Great footage though. And I liked how they explained the boards as the latest in computer designed technology, and then showed them gaffer taping diving weights to them!


"Well I’ve just watched the 60 Minutes expose on Pedra and all I can say is that Marti, Ty and Big Jim were totally stiffed by the corporate imperatives of Tom,Ross Clarke, Red Bull and Discovery.
This was clearly a promotional vehicle for Tom and Ross and displayed less than zero respect for the Tassie guys out there. This is a sham that needs to be seen through and exposed. Tom and Ross have balls of steel and the Tas guys were just somewhere on the periphary - a first hand account calls that the Tas guys more than held there own and may have taken on Pedra with less overt fear than at least one of the two LEGENDS. 60 Minutes of scam.
